Jahreszeugnis Schiller-Gymnasium Hagedorf

Name: Claudia Fellmann Schuljahr: 2012/2013

Klasse: 9a

Kommentar:

Claudia ist eine interessierte und freundliche Schülerin, die aber fleißigerarbeiten sollte. Claudia muss lernen, ihre Hausaufgaben regelmäßig zumachen und sich im Unterricht besser zu konzentrieren. Nachhilfe in dennaturwissenschaftlichen Fächern könnte ihr helfen, die Noten zuverbessern. Es ist schön, dass Claudia sehr sportlich ist. Wir raten aber,dass sie ihre Trainingsstunden etwas reduziert, um mehr Zeit für dieSchularbeiten zu haben. Leider muss Claudia die 9. Klasse wiederholen.

Datum: 2. September

Sehr geehrter Herr Meisner

Meine Frau, ich und unsere drei Kinder haben zehn Tage in Ihrem Hotel Seeblick verbracht.Wir hatten uns schon seit Monaten so auf unseren Urlaub an der Nordsee gefreut – in derSonne liegen, im Meer baden, lange Spaziergänge an der schönen Küste machen. Davonhatten wir lange geträumt.

Wir haben viel Glück mit dem herrlichen Wetter gehabt, und die Kinder haben großen Spaßam Strand gehabt. Leider hatten wir aber weniger Glück mit dem Hotel. Auf Ihrer Webseitesieht das Hotel ganz anders aus. Unsere Zimmer waren klein und dunkel, die Möbel warenalt und der Teppich war ziemlich schmutzig. Außerdem hatten wir immer Probleme mitdem Internet. Es hat sehr viel extra gekostet, und die Internetverbindung war sehr langsam.

Das Frühstück in Ihrem Hotel war auch eine riesige Enttäuschung. Wenn man nichtpünktlich um sieben Uhr ins Frühstückszimmer kam, musste man lange in der Schlangestehen, um auf einen Tisch zu warten. An manchen Tagen konnten wir noch nicht einmalals Familie zusammensitzen.

Die Nordseeküste ist immer noch unser Lieblingsurlaubsziel, und wir kommen bestimmtwieder, aber das nächste Mal werden wir uns ein anderes Hotel suchen müssen.

Ihr Hans Schmidt

Datum: 3. September

Sehr geehrter Herr Schmidt

Es tut uns wirklich leid, dass Sie unser Hotel nicht gut gefunden haben, und ich schreibeIhnen deshalb sofort zurück.

Wir möchten uns entschuldigen und unsere Situation erklären: Nächsten Monat beginnenwir die Renovierung unseres Hotels. Es stimmt, unser Hotel ist etwas altmodisch; wir habeneine lange Tradition. Aber wir wollen modernisieren, damit Gäste wie Sie weiter zu unskommen. Natürlich werden wir auch unsere Technologie verbessern.

Im Namen des Hotels möchte ich Ihnen und Ihrer Familie in den Osterferien einkostenloses Wochenende in unserem renovierten Hotel anbieten. Zusetzlich möchten wirSie zu einer Bootsfahrt der Küste entlang einladen.

Wir entschuldigen uns nochmals und hoffen, dass wir Sie bald wiedersehen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Ihr Fritz Meisner, Hotel Manager Hotel Seeblick
